I may be missing something here, as my mind has been on other things.
But currently most mxf material I see that ffmpeg correctly handles is
"frame wrapped" with the frame layout as type 1 (SEPARATE_FIELDS).

AFAIK these do not use filter insertion etc to work.
Are these therefore handled at the decoder level, in which case:-

a: they will not benefit from doing things at the format level.

b: J2K will be an exception to the current way of doing things, which
could add confusion.

If they are not currently handled at the decoder level, the surely the
format level must already handle this material correctly so why is your
patch needed in this form?
